2.2 million tourists visited the Bulgarian Black Sea coast in the period May-July, Minister of Tourism Stela Baltova said. The growth in number of foreign holidaymakers is the highest. Number of guests from the Czech Republic rose by 300%, and from Poland and Romania -  200%.

1.5 million Bulgarians or 100% more than last year, chose to spend their vacation in this country. "Most likely, August will be successful for Bulgarian tourism, if we manage to keep the epidemic situation under control," Stela Baltova said. According to her, health measures should be linked to socio-economic ones.

So far, only one place has the label "100% vaccinated staff", but next week two more similar stickers will be placed, it was reported.
